a recent conversation with brad:
"we are definitely going to have to find some good places to go for walks/hikes this summer. i mean, obviously the beach ... but we need some east coast "mountains" too"
"haha i like that you put it in quotes"
"they're not real mountains. how high is the highest peak on the east coast? does it even get above the alpine line?"
"mm probably not"
"they're just hills. people here would just laugh"
"oh man, i can't even imagine what their reaction would be. definitely one of laughter, mixed with some incredulity"
"ok, so mt. mitchel in north carolina is over 2000 m, which is still only a hill."
[mt mitchel is the highest peak on the east coast, good 'ole wikipedia]
"we have heartbreak hill in boston. that has an incline"
"that doesn't count. it's a ROAD!"

Haha. I had this conversation with people when we were skiing. We met some guy from Georgia and I stated that the East Coast has no mountains, only hills. And you have proved my point. Mt. Mitchell is not even half as tall as Mt. Whitney. East Coast has hills.
